JAL at least used to run a 777-300ER on what amounts to a positioning flight from NRT-KIX (it flew overseas from KIX, back overseas to NRT, then to KIX to do it again. I flew it once and I counted five people on the entire plane. On a 777-300ER. That, after already having flown a 14 hour flight from JFK-NRT, was easily the weirdest flight I've ever been on, between my tiredness and the fact that it felt like I was on a ghost plane. I couldn't see another passenger even if I stood up and looked around. It did mean my wife and I had a personal flight attendant, though, which was cool.

Thanks for this video! I will be flying this route next February and March. I just sprung a little extra money for Comfort plus seats It was $149 extra each way but based on how my 63 year old body handled last months flight from London home to the USA at just 9 hours in economy I think it will be worth it for the extra legroom and recline. The recline is supposed to be double that of economy.

The food was horrific, I dont know why youre impressed. Its a 14 hour flight. For lunch you didnt even get any sides like a bread roll or cheese and crackers, like majority of airlines will give you. Breakfast was lousy and a cheap pizza roll for a midflight snack? Yeah, not impressive at all. Even United has better economy catering than this

Awesome, I took the same flight in the reverse direction in late 2021. Also mainly empty. Delta is surely the best of the US carriers flying to Australia, and I'd say the A350 with its spacious cabin and amenities is the best plane for the trip. Better than the A380 and B787.

That was an awesome flight. I once flew like that from LAX- AMS. There is nothing wrong with economy if you have 3 or 4 chairs LMAO.
Do have to say that I particularly like Delta One suites on the A350. That was one of the best flights I ever had

Hi there - love the video - you said they set up a snack basket - for you to help yourself. I have flew 5 - 6 time s to the USA and never had the nerve or balls to ask for extra water or snacks. Is that something that happens alot and they let you do?

Refusing to wear a mask is a RIGHT! The science is clear that masking even in an enclosed space is not healthy for anyone. But the leftists treat it like virtue signaling. Might as well refer to it as an emotional support mask LOL

Thanks for the vid. I'll tell ya, I would have slept like a baby knowing I saved over $1K rather than paying full boat over premium economy and I still got to sleep in a lie-flat position. Great choice of flights, IMO.

I can't image a 20percent full cabin. Nice. I'm flying from Atlanta, GA to Johannesburg, South Africa later this summer. 16 hours of fun. I will be in the same economy class on my trip. But it's already almost full.

I was on a flight like this once. Lufthansa 747 Frankfort to San Fransico only about 100 people on board. I had an entire row to myself. I laid down in the middle section and had a pretty good night.

Fantastic video, such a shame you had to fly to Sydney just so you could choose from a different carrier that flies to the U. S hopefully United will be back flying into Melbourne soon.

Always surprises me why they don't just upgrade Economy passengers to Premium or Business Class (assuming there are free seats) when the aircraft is as empty as this appears to be.

LOVE flying on empty planes, although I feel sad for the company trying to operate without money coming in to pay for that fancy plane. Hope things go better for the airlines.

With a flight that empty, I would request a seat forward of the engines. ie ask the flight steward. It's much quieter than sitting aft of the engines and hence better sleep.

Why do airlines bother to operate a flight that empty? Is there some sort of requirement airlines fly certain routes, no matter how few passengers are on the flight?

lol, giving that food a 10/10 is a joke. Just because you had even worse on your prior flight doesn't change anything about the trash you were served on this flight.

North American airlines are sheer crap and the food they serve onboard is typical of the junk food Americans eat every day

Thank you for this video. I have plans in November to go to Sydney on Delta. This gave me a look as to what to expect.

Great video as always. Listening to Delta announcements was wondering, Is the mask mandate in planes truly a federal law?

The food looks awful. This seems like the kind of food one would get in prison. This is why I never eat airplane food.

How would you compare Delta with American on this particular route because American also flies between LAX and SYD?
